This film was better in my memory, but it must have been about 10 years since I saw it (for the first time). Now the 2nd time I liked it a lot less. It starts reasonably with those war scenes, but after Braddock's escape, the content becomes less fun. His return after 10 years made me hope for quite a bit of spectacle, but apart from some bangs and explosions, the ending had little to offer.
Nice to see in the credits: Stuntman: J. Claude van Damme.

Missing in action is good.
Chuck Norris plays
his role James Braddock
other than in the following parts,
he comes across more silent and colder.
I still think this is a great movie
I must be the only one in the Netherlands 
no but i find the action entertaining
and the story is decent.

What have I been looking at? It's actually quite a mediocre film, but it still has something to do with it. The acting is really mediocre. Also the exaggeration that Braddock is a hero is really going too far for me. Actually, after the movie, I had such a feeling that I'll watch another movie, to get rid of the bad taste. But hey, not every movie can be good. Was there nothing that was really positive? Yes, that was the soundtrack "Reckless" by Chris the Glove Tailor with Ice-T. Great music.
I just took the film to the thrift store. Clean up nicely!
